EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Democratic and Conservative Party.
Tbe Election.
Citizens will take notice that there is
couftitutioual provision, act of Congress,
law of the State, which prevents any e
i*tirom voting by reason of participation in the
lute war. All existing disabilities apply oul.v
to holding office.
Foreigners who have declared their inten
tion, i. a. have taken oat their first papers, or
who may do to at the office of tha Clerk of
the Superior Court, or of the City Conrt be
fore the election, are by law entitled to virfe.
There is no registration.
Tho MMwMWty—Let ns Have no
IHvlalea la (Me Democratic Ranks.
Tha Jiepublicaa of yesterday morning con
tains a card signed by a number of citizens
announcing their determination to support
Captain James Dooner for Sheriff at the
election which commences to-morrow.
Among the signers of ths oard we notice the
names of many good and true Democrat*,
gentlemen who have in the past labored
zoalonsly in support of Democratic principles
and /or the rescue of the State from Radical
misrule and corruption,and we regret exceed
ingly that they should have determined on a
course which, while it moat ensure the election
of sn incompetent, irresponsible and in every
respect unworthy Badic*l to one of the most
important county offices, will also be tha
cause of unhappy division among Democratic
friend* in the fa tare. From the fact that
1'sptain Dooner, in response to the invitation
of the Executive Committee, promptly and
unreservedly submitted his claims to the
nomination to their decision, signing a writ
ten pledge with the other county candidates
to abide by their action in the premises, and
from the farther fact that snch a course wonld
he inconsistent with his character as a gentle
man of unquestioned integrity, wo cannot
think that the proposed use of his name Las
keen at hit instance or that it has his ap
proval. For his sake and for the sake of the
cause with which we know he sincerely sym
pathises, we hope that his friends will not
insist upon placing him in an attitude of ap-
positiou to his Democratic friends, who, bod
ho receivod the nomination, wonld have
given him their unanimous and cordial sup-
p rt.
We feel confident that Captain Dooner will
refuse to permit the use of his name in the
manntr proposed.
Liability to Immediate Arrewt for
Illegal Voting.
Bullock calls the attention of the officers of
the law to the following article of tho Con
stitution:
Article 24, eection 7. “Electots shall in
all cases except treason, folonv, or breach of
the i>eAce, ba privileged from arrest five days
before »n election, during an election, aud
two days subsequent thereto.”
Km sublime bovinity, however, neglects to
inform his officers that "voting before a
ing At the age of twenty-one year* is the only
illegal voting which falla below the grade of
felony under the laws of this State.” Repeat
ing. voting without payment of taxes for the
year next preceding tha election, and every
other kind of illegal voting, is /Hot»y, and
therefor* leaves the offender no benefit from
the 7th section of ths 2d article of the Con
stitution, exempting voters from arrest.
Akcruiun’s Law to Promote Ille
gal Voting " I nronstitutionnl,
Mnll and Void.”
Wo invite attention to UaA address of Judge
Linton Stephens and General Robert Toombs
to the people of Georgia, which will be found
in another column. In it the monat
wrong contemplated by Aksrman’a election
law is thoroughly exposed, and the rights
and duties of the citizens, as declared by the
Constitution of the State.and the Enforce
ment Act of Congress, are clearly set forth
and a UwfttJ ptfifly recommended lor the
preservation of the purity of the ballot box.
The direct conflict between the Akermra in
iquity and the provisions of the State Consti
tution and of the Enforcement Law of Oon-
grees in refkreeca to elections, ia emphatical
ly declared and demonstrated beyond the
shadow of a doubt. The paramount Author
ity of the Constitntion and the enactments of
Congress' is maintained, and the Akerman
usurpation pronounced • ‘rsaoNwni
xm.r. and'Void.'"
Toe duties of the so-called •* Managers of
Election." appointed under the Akerman
law, as imposed by their eath to carry Into
effect “ the laws for bolding elections," are
clearly defined, while the legal mesne by
which the people may protect the ballot box
from n deliberately planned scheme of outrage
and fraud, is pointed out aud recommended.
Unless cur elections are hereafter to be
mere mockeries, they must be conducted
Ktriclly according to Constitutional law. The
penalty for tb« violation of the Enforcement
Act, by managers of elections, is heavy fine
and imprisonment Illegal voting is felony,
and subject* the offender to immediate arrest.
The Akerman monstrosity, being only an un
constitutional State law, can afford no pro
tection to the violators of the law of Con
gress. Managers and voterR, therefore, will
disregard ti e paramount law at their peril
It requires better law than Attorney-Gen
eral Akernum’s Election Law to legalize fraud
and protect felons, and the people in the
present emergency are resolved, while there
is any recognized law left to them, it ahull be
promptly, fiimlyand rigidly enforced.
Preparing for Defeat-Congress to
Net Aside the Election.
Foster Blodgett publishes a card in the At
lanta Era, as Chairman of the Radical State
Central Executive Committee, in which be
betrays bis apprehensions of certain defeat
iu spite of the infamous Akerman bill, hosts
of Radical manager* of election, legions of
Deputy United States Marshals, battalions of
Federal bayonets and herds of negro repeat
ers and is seting his slander-mQla to work
preparatory to an appeal to Congress to
aside tho election on the ground of violence
and intimidation.” He says:
I hereby call upon the good citizens at
each voting place to report to me by letter, or
otherwise, in lull, all the particulars of any
intimidation, whereby voters are deterred
from going to the polls; any violence, or oth
er improper conduct, whereby voters are
prevented from voting, or nude to vote
aga'ust their will; and any other fact which
would tend to make the election anything
but a fulT, free, nod untrammelled expree-
hions of the popular choice.
Thi* information is necessary to enable
Congress to set nai.de tbo election where
fraud, intimidation, or violence has occurred,
and to tAkc such other etepn as may be neces
sary to secure justice, by the enforcement of
the laws of the United States.
This note of busy preparation on the part
of the Radicals should have the effect to stim
ulate the true men of the State to extraordinary
exertion to bring out a full and united vote.
Let the election be fair, peaceable and order
ly, and the majority triumphant If the
ele. lion is only a slmm, if the people are to
bo defrauded ont of the right to choose their
rej.icseut itives at the ballot box, why, let
Congress under the "violence and intimida
tion” clause of their reconstruction scheme
take tho responsibility before tha country of
ttlng aside the verdict of tho people.
Letter from Hon. lieison Tift.
The following loiter from Hon. NeHon
Tift, the ablo and faithful Representative of
the Second Congreorional District, though
addressed to hit immediate constituency, is
so applicable to the Democracy of the entire
State* bo earnest and impressive in its ap
peals, so sound in principle, and so patriotic
in its purpose, that we republish it with.onr
cordial endorsement We commend it to
the Democracy of Chatham county and the
First Congressional District:
Albany, Cla., Dec. IS, 1870." '
of the Second Coiigrtsstonal
Contested Election Cases In Con-
7o the Citiu
District :
Fellow-Citizens —Finding it impossible to
visit all the counties In the district, or t* talk
with you all face to face, ns I would like to
do before the election, I send this communi
cation to beg each one of you to repnember
the interests we have at stake, the present
sad condition of our country untier the un
scrupulous rule of the Radical party, and to
assure you of the oertaicty of our being able
to redeem and save the State if we will make
the proper efforts note. A few days hence
will be too lste for aught but unavailing re
gret.
The Radicals are at work in thu most des
perate anl unscrupulous manner day anil
night in Leagues and Clubs, by white and
black emissaries, with money and falsehood*,
by threats and promisee, and sometimes by
violence. They are deceiving the colored
people, and endeavoring to make them In
struments of oar common ruin. Let it be
our duty to undeceive them, and get thorn to
aid in securing onr common safety.
One of the most important means to buc- '
cess is unity among our friends upon a sin
gle ticket Every true and patriotic maw
will see the necessity of this, and will there
fore discountenance all divisions upon can
didates, and try to reconcile all difflenllics
upon the ground of patriotio sacrifices for
the good of our cause and country. Inf
many counties like Dougherty, the Radicals
have not enough qualified men to fill their,
offices. In these cases they are inserting on
their ticket the names of some respectable
Democrats for county offices, with the pur
pose of giving strength to the Radical tick
et to defeat the Democratio party in the more
important offices for Congress aud the Legis
lature*
In all such cases no true man will ccnea?l
bis opinions, or allow his name to be a*ed
without the consent of his party, nor unless
his name is selected to be run on his party
ticket There can be no compromise of
truth or principle for policy or personal con
siderations without self-abasement and dan
ger to the cause. Truth is the power of God,
before which neither men nor devils can
1 With taith and earnest efforts let ns
rely upon this Almighty Power to save our
selves and our country in this hour of peril
The rime is at hand. Lot us so work as to
arouse every patriot to his duty. Let tho
prospect of common danger and the hope of
common bWsinga unite us. See that every
has an opportunity to vote. Maintain
peace and n fuir election. If we do these
things we shall rid tho State of the«e tyrants
and plunderer* who now rule over ns, aud
aid In the restoration of peace, prosperiiy
and constitutional liberty of Geoigia.

Nelson Tift.

A Reminder.—There is a law of this Stats
now in fail force aud effect which may in
terfere somewhat with those tempestuous
sous of Ham who are wont to swagger around
the election precincts armed to the teeth.
In substance, this law makes it a misdemean
or for any one to “carry about his or her per.
sob, any dirk, bowls knife, pistol or revolver,
or any kind of deadly weapon to any court
of justice or any election ground or precinct,
or any place of public worship, or any other
public gathering in this State, except militia
muster grounds." Au offence of this kind is
punishable by a fine of not less than twenty
or more than fifty dollars, and imprisonment
iu jail not Isas than ten or more than twenty
days, or both, at the discretion of the court.
To enforce this law, Bollock offers a reward
of one hundred dollars for the atreat of each
parson who may violate it.
A reward of ona hundred dollars is also of
fered for ths arrsst of any party who may vi
olate the law in regard to the sale of liquors
during the three days of election.
No Registration Required.—We are in
formed that some persons art under the im
pression that the Registry Law is in foroe, and
that not having registered, they are not enti
tled to vote. They are entirely in error.
There is no State registry law in force, and
no registration is required of voters. Every
adult male resident is entitled to vote.
Tor the good of their beloved State, the
members of the South Carolina General As
sembly will take a recess from December Sid
to January 5th. For their own good, they
will draw per diem and mileige while discus
sing their Christmas turkey, It must be ad
mitted, however, that they do leu harm at
home than in Columbia. So thinks the
Charleston Xexcs. Bat will the white owners
of turkey ooops and hen roosts agree with
the editor?
Ncki*matic Ctraxoemxa. — Baron Geroll
the Prussian minister, has received a lot of
gold and silver-plate and coins from one of
tlpe cJd German cities, which are supposed to
have been left there by one of the Roman
generals during an expedition into the old
country known as Allemani*. They are all
curioosly carved, and are mado of the purest
metal
a’s Bill.—Of coarse the main object
6f *6btler in pressing hie bill is to secure the
pqipage of thst part of it which will prevent
the victims of his unhallowed greed for gold
from recovering damage i of him in the
court*. Butler will never feel sure that his
plundsr is safe until Cengrees has shut np
the temple* of Justice*
The prospect of there being a largo num-
r ot contested election cases in next Con
gress is said to bo very good, and sosne of
the members of the House are inquiring why
this great increase of contested cases occurs.
Tho flotation is believed to be found in
tho liberal allowance paid to the contestants
in this aud procoding Congresses, ranging
from $1,000 to $5,000. Over $100,000 has
been paid to contestants in tho present
Horae. In addition to this, there is a large
iUm in ths way of printing tue testimony in
theso cases. In one case the cost was over
$7,000.
It is not improbable "says the Washington
Fotriot, that another attempt will be made to
pass tha bill providing that no payment shall
be made to contestant unless he establishes
his right to his neat." The passage of such a
bill wonld be equivalent to telling Democrat
ic candidates, whatever might be their |>opu-
lar majorities to stay at home, as it is one of
the standing rales of the Radical Congress to
exclude Deuioorals and seat their Radical op
ponents, right or wrong.
Tut. War in Ernops.—Baron Gerolt. the
Prussian Minister, docs not appear to in
dulge in very strong hopes of tho capitula
tion of Paris. In conversation a few days
sineo with prominent gentlemen in Wash
ington. he stated that lie had received no
official dispatcher other than tha last oircalar
of Bismarck, already published, but thst the
situation was by no means mi encouraging for
the Prussian army as it waa on the original
investment of Path. The cold weather and
the intense enthusiasm of the French, he
thought, might yet redeem Paris. At aa In
terview with Secretary Boutwell the latter
was positive in the opinion that King 'Wil
liam bad lost hf* one great chance for immor
tality as a great aud generous man ia his
Withdrawing his army from French soil on
tho capture of Mats and Slrasbnrg. Mr.
Boutwell thought that, with these cities in
their possession, the Prussian Generals
should have retired, and the French would
gladly have let them go. Bat if they had
done so it would have been in violation of
the spirit of the whole German nation, then
fully aroused, snd eager for Paris and noth
ing less.
Tn Kino or Italy Delays his Triumphal
Entry into Roux.—A correspondent writing
from Florence says that Che King's Ministers
bod appointed December let oh the day upon
which the grand entry was to have been, and
the Italian journals had pnbliahed the entire
programme cf the order of the great proces
sion. Bat when the King learned that he
w«rlo be lodged, while in Rom^ in the
Qairinal, he decidedly rejected ths arrange
ment. He dreads, it is said, ths anger of ths
Pope, and will use every excuse to pot off his
entry into Rome- . It is also stated, in this
letter that a foreign ambassador in Florence
said that, from some remarks Us Majesty bad
mid* to Urn daring on audience, ha frit sure
that theXing would hall gladly any foreign
intervention whioh would prevent his taking
possesion of the Btalj Olty. * * 1 ■ J

Was on Sai.t Monopoly.—The importers
of salt have sent a memorial fo the Way* and
Means Committee giving a statement of the
percentage of duty on the same to the invoice
eo*t of a few cargoes imported during the
present year. They say that they "present a
libera] average sample of the present duty on
salt at 18 cents per one hundred pounds in
b*lk and 24 cent* per one ’ hundred pound*
in seeks. The freight will average 15 shil
lings per ton. or 19o per oent of coat. This
protects the Onondaga Salt Company, who
are about the only pot tie* benefit ted by the
pc—nt really axorbitaot rate*, about 375 per
oent of the value of the articles prepared by
them for sol*. 'Che very high rate of duty
not only affects the importer lint affects all
American manufacturers of salt, who ore
ground into obscurity by the Impositions of
the favored and wealthy Onondaga monopoly,
and the consumer; who meets all the expense
of a monopoly striving to absorb the entire
aalt trade of the country. The burden is
too heavy to bear in time* of peace and inca
pacity. We, therefore, earnestly, on behalf
the millions to be benefitted thereby, call for
a red notion of the tariff bn imported salt to the
following rate*, vix: aalt in bulk, six cents
per 100 lbs.; to sack* nine c*nU per 100 lb*.
